Describing Orienteering

Michael Posted: 14 August 2013, 4:04 AM   We're all called on to describe orienteering to non-orienteers, and I can't find a topic that collects the good ideas, approaches, well-written articles, etc. For example, I think this is quite a good one: http://www.attackpoint.org/discussionthread.jsp/message_859747   Michael Posted: 14 August 2013, 4:11 AM   Video is one medium and of course Youtube is the obvious place to look for these. But in researching the above I found this. Did it ever produce fruit? http://www.maptalk.co.nz/forum/topic.cfm?t=1237&f=1   Michael Posted: 16 August 2013, 4:59 AM   Here's an article aimed at the tramping community. http://www.attackpoint.org/discussionthread.jsp/message_860776   Rog Posted: 28 August 2013, 6:12 AM   The Aussies have their great video series for foot and MTB O http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt54lgMDN0JlD-kZYXTmtCXJjaPuDI-Ly Some things are a little different there.   nick Posted: 17 September 2013, 8:24 AM   http://www.runbosco.com/p/what-is-orienteering.html   Michael Posted: 22 September 2013, 4:05 AM   An interesting approach: http://dontgetlost.ca You have to look really hard to discover that this is an orienteering club:-))   Michael Posted: 2 December 2013, 3:11 AM   Darren discovered it, just adding it to the collection here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnE-hftGQoU Action rather than words.   Michael Posted: 28 December 2013, 4:10 AM   Maybe not brilliant, but this one is solid and without any cringey bits. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/lifestyles/recreation/orienteering-attracts-participants-with-diverse-sk/ncTH7/   Rog Posted: 5 January 2014, 3:50 AM   British Orienteering Promo video "What is Orienteering?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-H9Tm2cuSU
